Application May 31, 1934, Serial No. '728,319l

6 This invention relates to vanity cases, and the primary object thereofis to provide a case of this type which has a hinged cover and alipstick preferably housed by the hinge structure, whereby upon opening.of the cover the lipstick will be partially ejected so as to enable sameto be gripped by the fingers of the user and bodily removed from thecase, and upon completion of use may be partially reinserted and uponclosing 0 of the cover completely moved within the case so as to haveits said ejected portion lie oiush with the adjacent portion of thecase.

A further object of the invention is to provide a housing for^thelipstick in the hinge of the cover thereby to afford a more compactstructure,

and to further provide means for positively partially ejecting thelipstick out of the casing and completely back thereinto upon openingandV closing movements of the cover. In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the invention with the parts in closedposition;

Figure 2 is a like view with the cover in open position showing thelipstick carrier partly ejected; n

Figure 3 is a section on line 3 3 of Figure 2; and L Figure 4 and Figure5 are sections on the lines 4-4 and-5 5 of Figure 3 respectively.

In proceeding in accordance' with the present invention a casing orhousing -1 is provided which may be of any desired form or shape andwhich has a member 2 on its bottom which latter has a curvedend 3. Ahollow hinge knuckle 4 is i formed by curling or rolling an end of thecover 5. The cover may be provided with a mirror 6 as shown. The bodyhas a complementary hole low'hinge knuckle4' secured thereto and overwhich the knuckle 4 of the cover 5 movably-engages. A rouge pan 7 may beprovided in the casing as shown more clearly in Figure 2, the rouge panbeing removably held in position by teats '7' formed on the -part 3,likewise a powder vcompartment closed by a hinge cover 8 may also Theknuckle 4 is provided with an axial sloty 8 ln which is received a pin 9which projects outwardly from a tubular member l0, the latter beingslidably mounted in the knuckle 4. The member 10 is preferably providedwith a longitudinal slit 11 whereby to enable same to frictionally gripthe lipstick carrier.12, the latter having a ringer engaging grip 13 atone end thereof. The slot 8 and the pin 9 hold the tubular member orsleeve against rotary movement while still permitting same to havelongitudinal movement, while the knuckle 4 has a spiral slot 14 in whichthe pin 9 also projects whereby it will be vseen that upon opening andclosing movement of the cover the sleeve 10 will be moved outwardly andinwardly respec- 60 tively of the casing thereby to eject the end 13-and to retract same upon opening and closing movement of the cover. Thelipstick carrier 12 also is preferably split as shown at 12 vin order toincrease its frictional engagements with 55 the tube or sleeve 10. I

In operations the parts are normally in the position of Figure l, butupon opening the cover 5 the lipstick carrier will be slidlongitudinally .by virtue of the slot 14 and pin 9 and outwardly to 70the position shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, and thus its end 13 isrendered accessible to be gripped by the ngers and the carrier entirelywithdrawn j from the/case.

Upon reinsertion of the carrier in the case as 73 shown in Figure 4 theinner end ofthe ilnger gripping member 13 will abut the adjacent'end ofthe sleeve 10 and thus limit insertion of the carrier,n following whichthe cover isl closed and by virtue of the slot 14 and pin 9 the carrierwill be 8, retracted or moved inwardly into the case into the positionof Figure 1 in which its part 13 lies flush with the adjacent side orwall of the case. Since f the engagement between the lipstick carrierand for moving the carrier outwardly to enable an end thereof to begripped by the fingers and bodily removed and upon replacement andclosing of the cover to be moved back into a position when the carrierlies flush with the adjacent .wall of the body.

2.' In a vanity case, a body having a cover,

means to hingedly connect an end of the cover to an end of the body, alipstick carrier slidably incorporated in the hinging means, and meansop- Y1015 erable by opening of the cover for partially ejecting thecarrier to enable complete removal thereof and upon reinsertion ofthe'carrier and closing of the cover for restoring the carrier tonormal' housed position., 110

3. In a vanity case having a ninged cover, a. lipstick carrier housedwithin and bodily removable from the case, and means operable by andupon operation of the cover for partially ejecting the carrier lfrom thecase so as to enable its complete removal and upon partial reinsertionin the case to vretract the carrier completely into the case.

4. In a vanity case, a case having a movable cover, a lipstick carrierhoused within and bodily removable from the case, and means operable byand upon operation of the cover for partially ejecting the carrier fromthe case so as to enable its complete removal and uponpartialreinsertion in the case to retract the carrier completely intothe case.

5. In a vanity case, a body having a hollow knuckle, a cover' having ahollow knuckle movably engaged with and over the body knuckle wherebyVto provide a hinged connection lbetweenY the body and cover, a tubularmember slidable 4in the body knuck1e,va pin, bodily receivable in a slotprovided therefor in the body knuckle to prevent turning knuckle, acover having a hollow knuckle movably engaged with and over the bodyknuckle whereby to provide a hinged connection between vthe body andcover, a tubular member slidable in the body.

knuckle, means to prevent turning of said member while permitting axialsliding thereof, means op erable by movementsof the cover to slide saidmember, and a lipstick carrierremovably receivable in said member topartake of the movements thereof.
